Lucky :3Honestly, I was introduced through another friend when I was going through a rough patch in life. We became just friends at first and have been for almost 10 years, we didn't find out the mutual zoo thing until maybe 3-4 years ago.
AmazingMy first experience was with the neighboring farmer's daughter. I caught her with her dog; it was the most fantastic thing I had ever seen. I haven't stopped thinking about it since! We never really talked about it; it just happened, and we both liked it.
I Haven't Met Any Friends Yet!Please leave out as much personal information as possible for your and their safety.
Growing up I didn't have much internet access until about 13-14. Once I got my first phone, it opened a whole new world for me. I had known I was Zoo since very very young, but hadn't ever met anyone like me. Just heard rumors and scoffing remarks from family members about stuff in the news and all.
I finally had access to social media and could connect to so many types of people, interests and hobbies. Being a furry i was quick to make online friends and one in particular (during a game of 21 questions and the infamous "what's your biggest secret" line) opened up to me about his one experience and his further interest. I miss talking to him greatly, but as life goes, over time we lost much contact. I'd love to hear some of yalls stories <3
I feel the same way and that's why I'm here as wellI Haven't Met Any Friends Yet!

Are you still on here to chat about your first timeMy 2 friends who are into this also I met them in school. I found out about one of them because she forgot to hide some stuff of her and her male dog on her computer. My other friend just told me one day after chatting and fooling around.
Many like that, indeed. But there IS the occasional nudget in the pile of dirt. It is good to keep digging.I met the first other zoo I met online when I was around ~16 years old in the late 90's. In fact it was the first person of the Internet I ever met. He was about my age and we also shared different hobbies and interests, gaming was one of them. So we decided to met up to have a LAN party. It was fairly okay, if somewhat less eventful than I expected it to be.
Sadly years later he backstabbed me in a zoo-themed channel on the IRC, where he caused me to lose mod-rights, probably since I wasn't super thrilled about the direction the channel went (embracing abusers more and more, as well as general depravity, giving up on the ideals that once made that channel attractive, the Z.E.T.A. principles). As a reason he eventually claimed that he believed I was no zoo at all, but would rather fake it for attention I'd get from pretending to tolerate other zoos (which was ridiculously stupid. If I was that desperate for attention of any kind, why on Earth would I try to get it from a marginalized group such as zoos?). When I asked him what made him think this was the case, he told me, that it was my behavior towards his dog. Or rather my lack of expected behavior. You see, he had a female dog around that time I visited him and apparently he expected me to try to have sex with her. I don't know how he could ever expect that. I never was (sexually) attracted to dogs. Around that time I wasn't interested in females at all. And even if I would have been into dogs and female dogs at that, I would never have dared to try to fuck the pet of a person I just met.
This really opened my eyes towards the realities of zoophile communities online. And on what to expect from zoos offline as well. I certainly didn't feel like meeting another zoo after that, at least not as long as it was someone I primarily met in a zoophile space. I didn't mind meeting gamers and furries after that, some of which might also have been zoos. But to meet a zoo first, decent human being second, in their house or appartment, to meet their pet, to be expected to fuck it? Heck no! I never wanted to meet someone like that again. And so far, luckily, I didn't.
True that. But I figured that the local zoo spaces aren't really for me anyway, so I turned to the international spaces instead, otherwise I wouldn't even be here to begin with. I don't know if it shows, but I'm no native speaker, but I feel way more at home in the english-speaking spaces than my native language ones.Many like that, indeed.

Advantage of zoo spaces is you can get a feeling of how they think even before cobsidering if you want to contact a person.
